The volume of water that is released is determined by the type of diaphragm assembly in the valve. Once the flush is initiated and water flows out of the valve, water from the supply line begins to fill the valve chambers again. A small bypass hole in the diaphragm allows that water to flow into the upper chamber. As the water pressure in the upper chamber begins to build, it gradually pushes the diaphragm back down onto the valve seat.
Once the diaphragm lowers back onto the valve seat and the upper chamber is sealed, the flow of water from the inlet stops. The valve is now ready for the next flush. Watch this video to learn how to clean the diaphragm. Over time, the diaphragm will eventually wear out, and will need to be replaced. Permex diaphragms last up to four times longer than the old rubber diaphragms. Sloan has been installing Permex diaphragms in its Royal flushometers since , when it introduced the dual-filtered bypass assembly.
The dual-filtered bypass filters the water twice before it reaches the bypass hole, which greatly reduces the possibility of dirt or debris clogging the hole. Using dual-filtered bypass assemblies will also cut down on the time spent servicing a Sloan Royal flushometer. Dual-filtered bypass assemblies only come installed on Royal Flushometers, not Regal. However, when the time comes to replace your diaphragm assembly, dual-filtered bypass replacement kits can be installed in Royal or Regal flushometers.
There are many different diaphragm kits available with different GPFs gallons per flush for different Sloan Flushometers. Visit our Sloan Manual Parts page to see which one will work for your valve.
Inside Cover. The hard plastic Inside Cover serves as a barrier between the diaphragm and the outside metal cover, and helps to seal the upper chamber of the valve. If a crack develops in the cover, it breaks the seal and disrupts the pressure, and so it will result in non-stop flushing, or water leaking around the outside cover.
Order part to get your valve back in proper working order. Life expectancy is five to seven years. The Control Stop is where water flows into the valve from the supply line.
What is a flush valve? A flush valve is a part inside the tank of a toilet that moves the water into the bowl. Toilet flush valves come in different sizes ranging from 2 to 4 inches, depending on the toilet design.
Who invented automatic flushing toilets? The first modern flushable toilet was described in by Sir John Harington, an English courtier and the godson of Queen Elizabeth I. Harington's device called for a 2-foot-deep oval bowl waterproofed with pitch, resin and wax and fed by water from an upstairs cistern. Why is it called a water closet? The term "water closet" was probably adapted because in the late 19th century, with the advent of indoor plumbing, a toilet displaced an early clothes closet, closets being shaped to easily accommodate the spatial needs of a commode.
How does a tankless toilet work? As the name suggests, a tankless toilet is any toilet that does not rely on a tank of water to clear its bowl. Instead, tankless toilets receive water directly from a supply line at a high enough pressure that a single flush can carry human waste through the drainage system. What is Sloan Valve? Sloan flush valves, referred to as "Flushometers" by the company, are designed to connect directly to the water supply line and release a predetermined amount of water with each flush.
What is a spud coupling? Toilet flush-valve spuds, spud couplings, and friction rings form a water-tight connection between a flush valve flushometer and a toilet. Spud couplings connect the base of the flush valve to the spud fitting in the toilet mounting hole. What does a flushometer do? When the flushometer is activated, it releases a metered amount of water into the toilet, then closes back up.
Rotate the control stop screw counter-clockwise with a screwdriver until it is fully open. Rotate the control stop screw counter-clockwise, one-quarter turn at a time. Where does the water come out of a toilet fill valve? The fill valve has a float or other device that moves with the water level in the toilet tank, opening to refill the tank with fresh water after a flush, and shutting it off when the tank is full.
Do all toilets have a siphon jet? In most toilets, the bowl has been molded so that the water enters the rim, and some of it drains out through holes in the rim. A good portion of the water flows down to a larger hole at the bottom of the bowl.
This hole is known as the siphon jet. How do you fix a toilet flush valve? Turn off the water at the shutoff valve and drain tank by flushing the toilet. Remove the toilet tank and gently place it upside down on an old towel or rug. How do you adjust a spa pressure switch? What is the best steak at Capital Grille? Co-authors 4.
